The process of mentoring involves advising, training, counseling and guiding a mentee. A good mentor helps a mentee to achieve his or her goals in a better way.

In the past there were close- knit extended families and the children in the family used to acquire skills informally from the elders. However, due to the recent shift in the family structure, from an extended family to a nuclear one; the children in the family do not receive sufficient time, attention and guidance from the seniors of the family.

Moreover, the changing life style, the highly competitive world, the advancement in science and technology have given rise to immense stress. As a result, skills such as stress management, time management, decision making, goal directed behaviour etc. need to be inculcated in the students. Therefore a teacher needs to step into the shoes of a mentor.

Each student is unique in his/ her intellectual and emotional make up. His/ her capacity to withstand stress during adverse situations is also unique. The chief objective of mentoring is to help a student battle negative emotions and life situations effectively. A good mentor is able to gauge the hidden potential of a mentee. He successfully inspires a mentee to convert his or her dreams into reality. The mentoring sessions will yield results if a mentor focuses on the individual problems of the mentee and develops a friendly relation with him/ her rather than a formal one.
